In this painting Phyllis has depicted Sugar Leaf. "Every where in my country are little freshwater springs, billabongs and waterholes. Everywhere in them are the Garrjang (Sugar Lily). In the hot time ants make sugar on big leaves. This sugar sits on top of that leaf and you can pick it off and eat it. Really sweet just like sugar."
